As a girl from the North, Some things I had not seen before moving to Savannah, GA:
Foods of the South -
Blue Plate Special: RC cola and a moonpie.
Did y'all say anything about "sweet tea" and "lemonade" yet?
Then there are the "greens" - turnip, mustard, kale and collard
chitterlings or chit'lins
crawfish
jambalaya and gumbo or how about etouffee?
Smithfield ham
Brusnswick stew
She-crab soup
black-eyed peas, hoppin' john
okra
vidalia onions
beans - oh my - pinto, butter, lima, pole, northern, green ...
poke and sassafras
to go with those biscuits don't forget about cornbread
corn pone
spoon bread
Yes, I had a lot of adjustments to make when we moved from Canada to the US. A lot.
